Obama Internet Czar Susan Crawford resigns
Washngton Post ^ | October 28, 2009 | Washington Post

Posted on 10/28/2009 3:17:11 PM PDT by opentalk

White House technology policy adviser, Susan Crawford will leave her position in January to return to the University of Michigan Law School where she is a tenured professor, according to the Obama administration.

Crawford, known as a proponent of controversial net neutrality rules, has been on temporary leave from the university to serve in the White House. That sabbatical, which began two months after she received tenure at the University of Michigan, will end in January.

“Susan has done an outstanding job coordinating technology policy at the National Economic Council where her expertise on issues from intellectual property to the Internet has been invaluable," said a White House spokesman. "We understand that she needs to return to her responsibilities in Ann Arbor, but we will miss having her wise counsel in the White House.”

Crawford has served as a technology policy coordinator for President Obama on the National Economic Council headed by Lawrence H. Summers. In that role she has been President Obama's adviser on the development of broadband Internet networks and a net neutrality policy. She has written extensively about net neutrality in her personal blog.

Emails from all sources seem to be the same

Everyone is fed up and sees Obama as a coward who is afraid to make a decision on Afghanistan

He set himself up for failure and disgrace

I still believe that’s one reason why he is holding off on sending troops to Afghanistan. It would disgust his base.

ALSO, and this is interesting, The elections are November 3rd. ACORN’S funding begins again on November 1st. They will help!! -cheat..

What I wrote above was talked about on Fox News today.

Yes, I saw some threads the past couple of days and they kept repeating the words of the troops before they were killed.

That's something Glen Beck should do on his program, or Hannity. People don't know about it and hearing the men saying that would affect them - if they have a heart

Now you see where the early warnings from HLS about returning troops came from

I don't keep up with it all devolve. Have a lot of things happening around here. I check the threads and Drudge but don't turn on the TV until Glen Beck or Special Report.

So - I'm not as informed as you. There is a thread that was posted earlier today saying ‘Breaking News’ and that Obama said he was sending 20thousand troops. I didn't see that on Drudge.

Lol, this thread is getting confusing. Not sure what he did there either. Google is my friend.
